Pelosi doles out campaign cash to Space near climate change voteDid $14,000 worth of contributions from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ease the pain of Rep. Zack Space's tough “yes” vote on the climate change vote?

I think Obama has her and Bill right where he wants them. Benched and on a short leash.
